Movie

Attack of the The Eye Creatures (1967)
Attack of the The Eye Creatures WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
Larry Buchanan actor: John Ashley, / Cynthia Hull …
other title: 巨眼生物 / The Eye Creatures
"The Eye Creatures" is based on the slightly less ridiculous 1957 movie "Invasion of the Saucer Men," and is less an homage as an exact carbon copy, reproducing basically the same characters, scenes and lines, only worse. The one chance that "Eye Creatures" had at improving over the original involves the monsters and the way they are defeated (not to give anything away) but is squandered with the poor production values present. Eye creatures wearing only the mask of their outfit, or running around is comfortable tennis shoes destroy any possibility of respect for this film. Luckily this movie is short enough to be amusing, without stretching on into grating. Best watched on Mystery Science Theater, if possible.
